ABSTRACT: We have studied the dynamics of solvation of electron injected directly into primary alcohols as well as that of fluorenone anion using pulse radiolysis technique with the time resolution of about 15 ps. Unlike in the previous reports, we observe nonexponential dynamics of both electron and anion solvation. While the ultrafast component, τ1 (
